Mrs Mujinga was admitted to Barnet Hospital on 2 April and was put on a ventilator. But she died three days later, the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA), said.

The Prime Minister's official spokesman described the attack on the key worker as "despicable".

The spokesman said: “It is despicable for a key worker to be attacked in this way while serving the travelling public.

The spokesman told the Mirror : "It’s a tragic and appalling case. We specifically strengthened the rules and the CPS published their own guidance to ensure people are protected from this sort of behaviour.

"It's a really shocking incident and our thoughts are with the victim and their family.”

TSSA general secretary Manuel Cortes said: "We are shocked and devastated at Belly's death. She is one of far too many front-line workers who have lost their lives to coronavirus."

The union added that there were "serious questions about her death".

"As a vulnerable person in the 'at-risk' category, and her condition known to her employer, there are questions about why she wasn't stood down from frontline duties early on in this pandemic," Mr Cortes said.

Ms Mujinga's employer, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), said it "took any allegations extremely seriously" and that it was investigating all claims.

Angie Doll, of GTR, said: "The safety of our customers and staff, who are key workers themselves, continues to be front of mind at all times and we follow the latest government advice."
